Dreamcatcher Rabbitry Website
The Dreamcatcher Rabbitry website is approximately 95% complete and was posted yesterday. Linda Norris and I have a little more work to do on it, but we hope that you will go ahead and take a peek. Linda has some adorable pictures on her new site that you won't want to miss.
Linda has Holland lops, mini lops, and the newest breed, thriantas. If you haven't seen pictures of thriantas, check out her site. You can see them on the home page. They are easy to spot because they are red - very red (the thrianta page has not been published yet but will be coming soon).
With Dreamcatcher for a name, Linda appropriately chose a southwest look and feel for her website. It was fun working with the great colors and the challenging layout of the first page.
I learned a great deal about creating websites for someone other than myself by working on Linda's site. Thanks, Linda, for being my guinea pig - or is that cavy?
My best advice: put most of your energy into getting the first page exactly right. Don't approve it until you love it. Then the rest of the website will practically develop itself. Linda was willing to accept the first design I sent her. But I could tell she wasn't in love with it. When I sent her the one she did choose, her response was "I LOVE IT." That's what I was waiting for.
Linda's advice: "The main thing is for the person to get everything together before they start, and know what they want." I think that's great advice. No matter who does a website for you, you can use the Get Started Today On Your New Website page of The Nature Trail Rabbitry website to help you collect your information and make some basic decisions before you start.
Part of the "everything" you need to get together is information, but the biggest part is the photographs for the site. That's the most time-consuming. Yet a beautiful site with just a few pictures can represent your rabbitry well. Then you can add pictures over time. I know Linda has more pictures to add in the not-too-distant future.
I've just added a new page to my website with a few pointers for taking good rabbit pictures. If you are taking pictures for your website, newsletter, or for keepsakes, you may want to check it out.
I do have a couple of projects lined up that should keep me busy through the end of the year. But why not treat yourself to a brand new website in 2006?
